Wayne Rooney has commented on Arsenal's tendency to falter at critical points in the season, referencing their recent Champions League semi-final defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. He stated that Arsenal has struggled in these situations for years, emphasizing the need for belief going into the second leg in Paris. Despite his critical remarks, he expressed hope that Arsenal could overcome their challenges and succeed in the competition. Rooney, a former player who has experienced this dynamic first-hand, provided insights on how the team could improve their performance in high-pressure situations.
"They get to a certain stage and things fall away," Manchester United all-time top scorer Rooney told Prime Video Sport, adding that Arsenal had experienced the problem for "years".
"The PSG away fans tonight showed that Arsenal are in for a hostile atmosphere," said the ex-England striker, looking ahead to the second leg in Paris on May 7.
"I hope they go on and win the competition, but they have to go into that game with belief. They have to slow the game down at the right time and, when they get chances, be clinical."
